So I looked around to see what was in the freezer/fridge and once I saw that I had mini egg rolls, it was decided!   Hannah ended up making her own fried rice, I’ll show you hers in a minute.  I started out by cooking a small spaghetti squash – about 7 minutes in my microwave.   I let it cool about 10 minutes, then cut it...

We finally had Christmas with my mom, sister and her kids – better late than never, right?  So while I collect snowmen, my mom collects angels.   I like that they are all so different – there really isn’t a theme to her collection: And then I had to take a picture of this:  For those of you who may be new readers to my blog,...

Well, the snow prevented us from going to my Mom’s house tonight – BUMMER!  By 3:00 the roads by us had barely been plowed.  So, we are getting together tomorrow for lunch – better late than never!   We think the snow is done for the next couple days, so the roads should be good by tomorrow. So I hadn’t planned on making dinner tonight, so...

Oh my, these are BY FAR the best biscuits I have ever made!   Please see Robin Sue’s blog to get the recipe – she gets all the kudos for this one! So as not to overwork the dough I just rolled it out making a square.  I have a dough scraper to make an even square, then I cut 9 biscuits.  Hannah had hers with...

Okay, I realized at about 10:00 last night that I never posted my dinner last night!  Shame on me! I wasn’t hungry at dinner time because of the huge piece of pizza I had, but I had thawed a steak for Tony.  I sauteed some mushrooms in butter and then topped them on the grilled steak – this was a bone-in New York strip.  Turns...

The pizza was delivered right on time!  Love when that happens.  I ended up getting a stuffed spinach pizza and a thin crust sausage and pepperoni.  I had one piece of the stuffed pizza leftover and about 1/2 of the thin crust pizza – better to have too much than not enough! I am lucky to work with such great people who are great at...

Yes, I am a creature of habit and just like Kath  eats oatmeal just about every day, I could have my egg white sammie and be perfectly content:  Busy morning so this is a late post!  And its Pizza Party Friday – but a bit different!  As a thank you to my co-workers who covered my desk when I was out with Tony, I decided...

So my brother Charlie wrote about Monkeyball Sandwiches and Tony wanted them stat!  Luckily, Charlie sent me the most important ingredient in my family’s Christmas box, the Pioneer Brand Gravy Mix.   Um, you’ll notice that Hannah decided to be my hand model!  Her friend works at a salon, and as a present, had one of her co-workers give her a free manicure this afternoon after school! So while my brother provided the essential...

I had some errands to run at lunch, and knew that I’d be by a really good sushi place, so since Tony can’t get to the sushi, I brought it to him!  Sadly, I missed one item that he wanted, but everything he got he said was really good and fresh! I had pork bbq on my brain.  My grandfather used to make the most...

Hannah is so organized, she puts together her ingredients for her egg bagel, puts it in a dish in the fridge, and puts her half bagel in the the toaster ready to toast first thing in the morning. She gets picked up for school usually before I get up, so when I walked into the kitchen (thanks for making coffee Han!) I saw her half...
